Terra Madre/Slow Food, Local Foods & Hunger
As a KY/USA delegate to Terra Madre/Slow Food in 2008/2010, i was blessed to participate in one of the most significant global movements of this century! One of the UN Millennial goals has been the elimination of hunger and starvation. Slow Food International has a goal in 2011 to create 1,000 community gardens in Africa…..while also building fair, clean and good local food systems around the world!
